  • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm Γ— 51 mm Manchurian badger)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles – Connecticut Shade
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face – GemΓΌtlichkeit
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist

Yesterday's combo left me wanting to play with more tobacco combos. This time I started with warm, sweet pipe tobacco with vanilla and nutmeg, took it in a fully gourmand direction with oatmeal cookies and coffee, and finished it up with the warm, dry scent of a cigar shop. It worked!

Yup, it's really working well together!

Chris is doing a release of Porch Drinks in the premium base soon, in case you haven't heard.

It would fit in very nicely with what you chose for today.

Ooh, I haven't heard, and I'm going to jump on it, thanks!

Terrific setup. I intended to buy Connecticut Shade at the Maggard Meetup but I think I was pretty nose-blind by the time I gave it a sniff.

You'll just have to go there again next year πŸ™‚

I am planning to go again in April. Perhaps I’ll treat it more like the Maggard Buyup next time. πŸ˜‰

I know I would :)
